Certainly! The easiest way (for me) is if you follow this link;<http://s646.photobucket.com/albums/uu18 ... nd%20bike/>

First pictures are of the bike as it stands today... The pictures of the frame number is the closest to give an idea of the original color.

And if I'm wrong on the exact shade, please correct me!

Hi guys!!

As my Ch 125 has been idle during the last 6 or so months (due to family and work), I have decided to restart now. I have one little problem though; Paint... As I have what I believe is a CH from 77 or early 78, I'm thinking that it should be in the darker red (527 in the Lechler book). But when I went to the ONLY Lechler agent in Stockholm, they didn't have that number in their books :(

I need either the blend numbers, or if there is a car that used this color from the factory...

I used the closest match from my local auto parts store on the frame, but it looks too light, and would look very wrong on the tank... And I suspect that the paint sample I had with me, at the time, was damaged by the sun light and the black paint some previous owner sprayed on it.
As I have ordered fenders now, I'd like to get the frame and tank right, and make the frame as complete as possible, with the exception of the brake pedal...

I know I can order paint from Italy or the UK (and possibly France) but it would be VERY expensive. If I can get the paint here, it would stop before I reach €50...

Somebody here or on Rugginose might have access to the old blending charts, or know someone who does... Please help me!
